The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit heard oral arguments on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, in the case of Commonwealth of Virginia v. Sebelius, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The case was heard concurrently with arguments in Liberty University v. Geithner, a separate challenge to the law brought by Liberty University.

Prior to Tuesday’s hearing on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Families USA, Virginia Organizing (formerly Virginia Organizing Project) and community members directly helped by the health care law voiced their opposition to Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s attempt to block national health care reform.

Virginia Organizing is one of many groups to file an amicus brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court supporting the federal health care law and opposing Attorney General Cuccinelli’s attempts to block reform.Click here to see a copy of the brief.
